A thorough analysis of disintegration behaviour is vital for the formulation of new fast-melt tablets (FMTs) to ensure reliable and consistent drug release.

The tablet or wafer has to be resilient enough to endure manufacturing and shipping, yet release sufficient disintegrants to deliver an optimum dissolution rate. The Tablet Disintegration Rig facilitates reliable assessment of the mechanical properties of FMTs.

In laboratories around the world, scientists are finding
new ways to manipulate matter at increasingly small scales, as well as
drawing inspiration from biological materials.

This revolution is giving us
substances with properties that were once confined to the pages of science
fiction books.

But these materials are more than just scientific curiosities
– they are genuinely useful, to the point that as applications start to
emerge they will radically change our world. Here are some amazing examples…
